Lot Description

S-260. Crisply struck and boldly defined devices really stand out on both sides of this high grade early large cent. Steely brown surfaces are accented by a strong, glossy mint luster gleams on both sides. We note a few ancient lines and flecks that do not detract from the eye appeal. A coin that likely sits in the condition census for the variety. PCGS 11, NGC 2. The last Small Date, Large Fraction in 58 to sell was a PCGS/CAC in the April 2018 CSNS auction realizing $4,320. There was an S-260 in November 2012 that sold for $9,400. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $5,000. A very nice example of the variety worthy of a strong bid from the advanced EAC collector. Cert. Number 35292814 PCGS # 1485
